Pyongyang, July 31 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities recently revealed their true colors as confrontation maniacs through the "strategy on the north" of the "five-year program of state administration".

They recklessly set "denuclearization of the north" until 2020 as the general orientation of the "north policy", although the DPRK declared that it can never talk about the inter-Korean relations with the "nuclear issue" as a precondition.

This is absolutely unpardonable as it blocks the road for improved north-south relations, disregarding the principled stand of the DPRK on the "nuclear issue".

The south Korean authorities' "strategy on the north" has no essential difference from "denuclearization, opening and 3 000 dollars" and "confidence-building process on the Korean peninsula" touted by the Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye groups of traitors, and it is more cunning and disgusting in sinister intention.

In the "strategy" they called for the establishment of "human rights foundation", settlement of the issues of "POWs of south Korean army and south Korean abductees", support to the "defectors from the north" and promotion of the plan for the establishment of the "Centre for Unification" openly showing the scheme for "unification through absorption" and confrontation of social systems.

Turning blind eyes to the basic problems such as defusing of politico-military confrontation between the north and the south, they talked about "new economy guidance idea" and "unification of economy". This proves that the present south Korean authorities are interested in making "administrative achievements" and claptrap tactics.

The "strategy on the north" after the "new Berlin declaration", which has already been denounced by Koreans, is an intolerable insult to the north and a declaration of the overall confrontation between compatriots.

The north-south relations will never improve with the "nuclear issue" as a precondition.

The powerful nuclear deterrence of the DPRK is the righteous option for self-defence to protect the dignity and destiny of the nation from the U.S. nuclear threat and blackmail and it is now guaranteeing peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.

The south Korean authorities should not imprudently talk about "denuclearization of the north" but make efforts to scrap nuclear weapons of the U.S. which reduced south Korea to the world's biggest arsenal of nukes.

If they challenge the just demand of the north and mindset of south Koreans who took part in the candlelight actions, they would meet the miserable end of the predecessors.

It would be wiser for them to ponder about the consequences before having the axe to grind. -0-

Pyongyang,
July 31 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet forces are staging anti-DPRK
confrontational farce before and after July 27.
They are bringing mercenaries of the U.S. and its satellite countries
into south Korea to hold such unbecoming farces as "commemoration of the
July 27 Armistice Agreement", "conferment of orders" and "thanksgiving
dinner party" and visit to Panmunjom.
They also opened a "peace promotion camp of UN nations that participated
in the Korean War", justifying the June 25 war of aggression and
stirring up the awareness of confrontation with the fellow countrymen.
Meanwhile, they held such despicable burlesque of sending "friendship
missions" made up of young people to Britain, Belgium and the
Netherlands to let them "visit mercenaries who took part in the Korean
War and their families to read letters of "thanks".
The puppet forces loudly claim that such "events" are aimed to convey
the feelings of "etiquette" and "thanks" to the mercenaries who took
part in the Korean war of aggression and show the appearance of those
who have "grown up" at their expense.
This is a detestable farce of the losers aimed to cover up their sordid
nature as provoker of the Korean War and paint the defeat as "victory"
and thus justify their confrontation racket against the DPRK.
History can neither be written off nor deleted.
As known, the U.S. provoked the Korean War to stamp out the DPRK, which
was just two years old, and realize its ambition for world domination
but sustained only the bitterest defeat in history.
Clark, the then "UN Forces" commander, confessed that "a war without
victory--this is the first misfortune ever in history of the U.S." The
Korean War brought the first nightmare of defeat to the U.S., a country
that emerged for a war and became corpulent with it, and made the
beginning of the consecutive defeats for the U.S. before the DPRK.
However, the puppet forces are expressing "gratitude" while holding
various ridiculous "commemorations" by use of old men, who stayed out of
their mind for over six decades following their defeat in the war, and
simple-minded children. This can not but be the biggest shame on the
nation.
The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces have always been loser in the confrontation with the DPRK.
Truth can never be covered up no matter how despicable sleight of hand
they may play to justify the history of defeat, being oblivious of this.
Historically, the U.S. imperialists have been defeated, hit hard by the
DPRK while the latter has always smashed to pieces the U.S. running
wild, counting on its huge strength. This is our proud tradition.
The DPRK will continue to write this tradition as a rule in its history
as it has now towered as an invincible nuclear power in the East, the
world-level rocket power and possessor of ICBM.
If the U.S. and the puppet forces ignite a war again, oblivious of this
lesson of history, the army and people of the DPRK will mercilessly wipe
out the enemies so that there would not be left even a single man to
sign the surrender document. -0-

The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK (ASSPUK) , the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE), the UK Korean Friendship Association (UK KFA ) , and the British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification in Korea (BSCPRKP) issued a joint statement in support of the statement issued by the DPRK Consultative Council for National Reconciliation (CCNR)issued on Saturday 29th of July concerning the policy of the south Korean puppet regime towards People's Korea ;
Recently the south Korean puppet regime issued a so-called '"strategy on the north" , noisily proclaiming that the DPRK would be denuclearised by 2020 etc . As the DPRK rightly points out that 'the "strategy" has no essential difference from "denuclearization, opening and 3 000 dollars" and "confidence-building process on the Korean peninsula" touted by the Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye groups of traitors while talking about the "north's dismantlement of nuclear weapons" and "unification through absorption". The DPRK CCNR is very correct in its analysis. Moreover it points out that the south Korean puppet regime has no real intention or idea to improve north-south relations . Thus they will remain in a state of confrontation and not improve.
The so-called denuclearisation of the DPRK touted by the new trendy liberal puppets of south Korea really means the de-socialisation of the DPRK and regime change .
Our organisations always held the change of regime in south Korea from a fascist conservative one to liberal one made no real difference . We believe our analysis has been vindicated.
We believe that the progressive people in the UK and the world should support the DPRK against the insidious regime change scenarios of the south Korean puppets. The pro-US , reactionary nature of the south Korean regime must be thoroughly exposed.
We call for a genuine improvement in inter-Korean relations and for the south Korean authorities to take the road of independence .

Recently, the south Korean authorities decided not to open to public the documents containing the truth behind the THAAD deployment for the reason that it might cause problems in sensitive diplomacy and security although they were found among the documents of the former Park Geun Hye regime at Chongwadae. This looks like yet another cover-up and conspiracy by the south Korean puppets. If they have nothing to hide then they should open up the documents to the public. What is disgusting is that the new 'liberal' regime in south Korea is covering up the truth and colluding in the deployment of THAAD.
The deployment of THAAD is rejected by the south Korean people as well as by neighbouring countries and all peace-loving people in the Asia-Pacific region . It deployment brings the disaster of nuclear war a step closer.
The new regime in south Korea is just as bad as the former Park Geun Hye regime.
We support the call of the DPRK NPCK for a stop to the deployment of THAAD !

On the evening of the 28th of July the DPRK successfully tested for the second time its Hwasong-14 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile , this was another great victory for People's Korea that was cheered by the Korean people and the people of the world. It fully demonstrated once again the independent prestige and dignity of Juche nuclear power, the world-level rocket power.
This not withstanding the US imperialists have gone mad ,making all kinds of threats against People's Korea venting their impotent rage. The US is talking about more sanctions and darkly hinting a military action.
The US needs to wake up and smell the coffee. The DPRK is now an advanced nuclear and ICBM power and can mount powerful retaliatory strikes on the US should they attack the DPRK. The US brought war to the land of Korea and massacred many innocent Korean people . This is not going to be allowed to happen again.
If the US wants to guarantee its safety and security that it must revoke its hostile policy towards the DPRK and withdraw every single US soldier from the land of Korea and every piece of military hardware !
We support the totally just statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry and call for a final end to US threats and provocations against People's Korea !

Pyongyang, July 31 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee and the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea gave a banquet at the Mokran House on Sunday in celebration of the successful second test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-14.

When Kim Jong Un arrived at the banquet hall together with Ri Sol Ju, the participants in the banquet warmly welcomed him.

Ri Man Gon, vice-chairman of the C.C., WPK, made a congratulatory speech.

He said the second ICBM test-fire only 20 days after the first test-fire is a world-startling event that eloquently proved the development speed of the Juche-oriented rocket industry making a remarkable leaping forward in the great era of Kim Jong Un and its inexhaustible potentiality and the invincible stamina of heroic Korea.

The successful second test-fire of Hwasong-14 is giving great joy and courage to the army and people of the DPRK as it hit hard the empire of evils, the chieftain of aggression, again on the head before the world is relieved of the shock by the first test-fire, and it has established a new world political structure with socialist Korea as its axis, he noted, adding:

The great success in the second test-fire was another thrilling victory in the history of the nation brought about entirely by the gifted wisdom, strong guts and prominent leadership of the respected Supreme Leader.

The speaker underlined the need to ceaselessly produce new-type ballistic rockets with high mobility and striking power in the sky-high spirit of having brought about a miraculous victory of July 28 through the "March 18 Revolution" and the "July 4 Revolution" under the guidance of the respected Supreme Leader and make a series of successes in the field of defence scientific research capable of overtaking the world in the air, on seas and under waters. -0-

Yesterday the 30th July was the 71st anniversary of the enactment of the DPRK Law on Sexual Equality . This gave women equal rights with men in the DPRK , abolishing centuries of feudal oppression . Women got equal pay (29 years before the UK) as well as the right to divorce . Prostitution was abolished by the law as well making the DPRK one of the few countries in the world that is free from the scourge of prostitution and the decadent Western capitalist sex industry which degrades women.

In People's Korea women hold important positions such as school headteachers, directors of hospitals as well as being soldiers and policewomen .

STOKE ON TRENT BRANCH OF THE JUCHE IDEA STUDY GROUP OF BRITAIN HAILS THE SUCCESSFUL TEST FIRING OF THE HWASONG 14 ICBM ON JULY 28, 2017
The Stoke On Trent Branch of the Juche Idea Study Group congratulates the officers and men of the Korean Peoples Army, the scientists and technicians of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea on the successful launch of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, Hwasong 14, on July 28th, 2017. With the launch of the Hwasong 14 missiles on July 4th and on July 28th, the world is simply amazed by this wonder of technology and science, this missile is a product of the self-reliant defence industry of Juche Korea. The development and production of the Hwasong 14 ICBM is due to the Songun Revolutionary Leadership of the Dear Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN. On July 28th, the Hwasong 14 missile was able to reach altitude of 3,734.9 km and flew 998 km for 12 seconds, meaning in effect that the DPRK now has the capability to strike at the heart of the enemy's territory.
For many years, the DPRK has proposed a Peace Treaty with the USA and nuclear disbarment talks. Instead the US Imperialists have been carrying out a bellicose course aimed at isolating and destroying the DPRK. Since 1957 the US military has stationed a thousand nuclear warheads in south Korea, aimed at the north and there are 40,000 US troops based in south Korea. Continuously, the US and the south Korean puppet forces have been undertaking large scale military exercises such as "Team Spirit "and " Key Resolve/ Foal Eagle", practicing for a "regime change" scenario. The Trump Administration in recent months have talked about a "limited nuclear war in Korea" and "surprise military attack", while bringing in aircraft carrier groups such as " Carl Vinton", and "Nimitz" into the costal waters of Korea and deploying the strategic bombers B-52 and B-2 to Korea.
The wisdom of building up a nuclear and missile deterrent forces by the Korean Peoples Army can be seen by the history of aggression by US Imperialism in Korea and internationally. With the Songun Politics, the Korean Revolutionary Armed Forces have been able to smash the monopoly of weapons' technology and, the right to have nuclear and missile weaponry is no longer the preserve of the Imperialists. As Marshal KIM JONG UN after the successful test firing of the Hwansong 14 ICBM stated on July 28th, the US, an aggression minded state can not go scot free if the US imperialists dared to provoke the DPRK. The Korean people will not barter away their nuclear and missile deterrence, while the US imperialism is the centre of world aggression.
The July 28th testing firing of the Hwasong 14 ICBM is the pride and joy of the Juche Korea and which ensures the survival and growth of the socialist prosperity of the DPRK. The Hwasong 14 is indeed the product of the initiative of Marshal KIM JONG UN in the application of building a nuclear power and a economic giant in the land of Socialist Korea. We the followers of the Juche Idea and friends of Korea rejoice over the historic success of the launching of the Hwasong 14 missile on July 28th, as a Songun type weapon of jusitice!!
LONG LIVE THE DEAR RESPECTED MARSHAL KIM JONG UN!
CONGRATULATIONS UPON THE HISTORIC TESTING FIRING OF THE HWASONG 14 ICBM, A WEAPON OF THE SONGUN TYPE!
LONG LIVE THE KOREA PEOPLES ARMY!

Pyongyang, July 30 (KCNA) -- A spokesman of the DPRK Foreign Ministry made public a statement on Sunday. It said:

The resounding success in the second test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-14 conducted on July 28 is a great victory of the DPRK that demonstrated once again the independent prestige and dignity of Juche nuclear power, the world-level rocket power.

The test-fire confirmed the DPRK's capability of making surprise launch of ICBM in any place and location any time, and clearly proved that the entire U.S. mainland is in the firing range of the DPRK's missiles.

The maximum range simulation test-fire of ICBM conducted by the DPRK this time is meant to send a stern warning to the U.S. making senseless remarks, being lost to reason in the frantic sanctions and pressure campaign against the DPRK.

The policy-makers of the U.S. who must have closely observed the successful second ICBM test-fire would now properly understand that the U.S., an aggression-minded state, would not go scot-free if it ever dared provoke the DPRK.

The U.S. trumpeting about war and threat to impose extreme sanctions on the DPRK only emboldens the latter and provides further justification for its access to nukes.

To the Korean people who experienced disastrous disturbances of war on this land by the U.S. imperialist brutes, the powerful war deterrence for defending the state is an inevitable strategic option and it is a precious strategic asset that cannot be discarded or bartered for anything.

If the Yankees, who have imposed pain and misfortune upon the Korean people for over half a century through their bloody war of aggression and heinous hostile policy against the DPRK, dares brandish the nuclear stick on this land again despite the DPRK's repeated warnings, the DPRK will clearly teach them manners with the nuclear strategic force which it had so far shown the U.S. one after another.

The U.S. should clearly understand the strategic position of the DPRK which has become a world nuclear power and a rocket power and the resolve of its army and people for retaliation, and wake up from the foolish dream of doing any harm to the DPRK.

In case the U.S. fails to come to its own senses and continues to resort to military adventure and "tough sanctions", the DPRK will respond with its resolute act of justice as already declared. -0

Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, the south Korean authorities made public the "five-year program of state administration" and referred to their "strategy on the north" to be followed during the office.

A spokesman for the Consultative Council for National Reconciliation issued a statement on Saturday to denounce their strategy.

The statement said that the "strategy on the north" touted by the south Korean authorities is little short of sophism as it is dreamy and sinister in its contents and goal. It continued:

The "strategy" has no essential difference from "denuclearization, opening and 3 000 dollars" and "confidence-building process on the Korean peninsula" touted by the Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye groups of traitors while talking about the "north's dismantlement of nuclear weapons" and "unification through absorption".

The south Korean authorities are talking about an "agreement on the north's dismantlement of nuclear weapons" until 2020, turning their back on the DPRK's principled stand that it can never talk about the inter-Korean relations with the "nuclear issue" as a precondition. In fact, this is little short of open announcement that they have no idea of mending the north-south ties.

The south Korean authorities openly copied such anti-DPRK scenarios viciously sought by the conservative group at the instigation of the U.S. as the establishment of "human rights foundation" and support to the human scum in their "strategy on the north". It is unpardonable as it is a heinous political-motivated provocation to tarnish the image of Korean-style socialism, destroy the single-minded unity by misleading the public and "bring down the DPRK's social system".

The above-said "strategy" denies the fundamental issues such as the defusing of political and military confrontation between the north and the south and includes odds and ends. This goes to prove that the present south Korean authorities are keen on worrying about their "administrative results" and popularity.

The south Korean authorities would be well advised to stop such act but ask themselves why the north-south relations are not improved.

They should bear in mind that they would follow the miserable end of their predecessors if they fail in thinking twice, clearly understanding the DPRK's just demand and desire of the candlelight demonstrators. -0-

Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the National Peace Committee of Korea released a statement on Saturday accusing the south Korean regime of trying to gloss over the issue of THAAD deployment, yielding to the pressure from the U.S.

Recently, the south Korean authorities decided not to open to public the documents containing the truth behind the THAAD deployment for the reason that it might cause problems in sensitive diplomacy and security although they were found among the documents of the former Park Geun Hye regime at Chongwadae, the statement said, and went on:

This is because of the regime's concern that the publication of the documents may reveal the truth behind the deployment of THAAD enforced by the U.S., add fuel to the public struggle against the deployment and thus incur disfavor of the U.S.

During the past "presidential" election the present chief executive of south Korea promised not to push ahead with the deployment unilaterally, considering the mindset of the public opposed to the deployment.

But the present regime of south Korea has now broken the promise and made it an established fact to deploy THAAD. This is just a mockery and frontal challenge to the south Korean people.

It seemed in the past that the rulers of south Korea would tell the U.S. what they should tell over the issue of the THAAD deployment. But now it has been fully disclosed that it was just a cheap farce to calm down angry China and Russia. South Korea has nothing to say when it is faced with shower of strikes from the neighboring countries, not mere economic retaliation.

If the regime persists in kowtowing to the U.S., failing to realize that its move to deploy THAAD, pursuant to the U.S. policy, is so foolish and reckless, it will never escape miserable fate like the Park Geun Hye group of traitors.

The south Korean regime should come to its senses, though belatedly, and open to public all the documents related to the truth behind the deployment of THAAD enforced by the Park regime under the manipulation of the U.S.

It should stop the humiliating THAAD deployment, as demanded by the south Koreans, other Koreans in the north and abroad and the world peace-loving people. -0-

Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is now keen on arms and equipment modernization while crying out for tough counteraction against the "threat" from the DPRK.

U.S. Congressmen are trumpeting about arms and equipment modernization while suggesting the resumption of the "Star Wars Program" against the DPRK, and the U.S. Defence secretary instructed to examine in an all-round way the missile defence strategy.

The Washington Times on its internet homepage on July 12 put it that Pentagon plans to invest billions of U.S. dollars in updating missile defence system, to divert 1.5 billion U.S. dollars out of 7.9 billion originally planned for ground-to-air missile defence system and Aegis ballistic missile defence system for updating 36 ground-to-air missile defence system built across the U.S. and to stage long-term missile defence exercises on a regular basis to cope with "missile threat" from north Korea.

The U.S. Defence Department instructed the U.S. munitions monopolies to submit within two weeks the design for new air-to-air interceptor missile five times faster than the existing interceptor missiles, and ordered them to step it up so that they can be deployed for an actual war after going through manufacturing and test processes at an earliest possible date.

Australian lawyer James commented the key purpose that the U.S. repeats the excuse of "threat from north Korea" is to justify the presence of the U.S. forces in East Asia and contain and lay a siege to China, biggest threat to its hegemonic strategy.

The reason why the U.S. is talking about the resumption of the "Star Wars Program" and getting keen on modernization of arms and equipment is never because of the DPRK but to serve its crafty intention to ensure an unchallenged edge of its strategic force over China.

It is not a secret that the "Star Wars Program" was a space war scenario that the Reagan administration worked out with an aim at stamping out the Soviet system under the pretext of "military threat from the Soviet Union" far back in the 1980s.

The program, a tricky scenario to create the atmosphere of horror within the then Soviet Union and undermine its economy, has been raised by the U.S. again. The aim sought by it now is to hold a strategic edge over regional big powers including China.

The U.S. remains unchanged in its ambition for world domination.

The U.S. reactionary strategy for world domination aims at pressurizing and containing its rivals and challengers by force, and holding a hegemonic position.

The contradiction between China and the U.S. over THAAD deployment clearly proves that any development on the Korean peninsula and in the region would be enough to stir up the interests of big powers as big powers stand in acute confrontation in their strategic interests.

The moves for the expansion of military influence in Asia and the concurrent movement to contain it have escalated military tension between China and the U.S. and further accelerated arms race.

We will never remain an on-looker to the situation in which conflict caused by the U.S. may reach the dignified DPRK. -

We salute Juche Korea for test-firing the 2nd Hwasong-14 ICBM.Another great victory for Juche Korea against US imperialism , the bulwark of modern colonialism , international exploiter and strangler of national independence and national liberation .We applaud Juche Korea and its supreme leader Marshal KIM JONG UN for standing up to US imperialist bullying as well as pressure from big power chauvinism and going ahead with the test-fire totally undeterred by any threats of sanctions or military pressure of the US imperialists. It really is amazing that the DPRK can continuously defy the US imperialists , sticking two fingers up at Trump !. This fact alone shows the validity , truthfulness and correctness of the Juche Idea and Songun idea !.
As dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN said "To the Korean people who experienced disastrous disturbances of war on this land by the beast-like U.S. imperialists, the powerful war deterrence for defending the state is an inevitable strategic option and it is a precious strategic asset that can not be bartered for anything..If the Yankees brandish the nuclear stick on this land again despite our repeated warnings, we will clearly teach them manners with the nuclear strategic force which we had shown them one by one"
Juche Korea is showing the road that anti-imperialist independent countries and socialist countries should take.
No one should take issue with the 2nd Hwasong 14 ICBM test of the DPRK . It was carried out on the territory of the DPRK so it is no-one's else business.It the right of an independent and sovereign state to defend itself. The media never mention the thousands upon thousands of missiles that the US has and the amount of missile tests carried out by the US !
The idiotic Yankee imperialists need to accept the fact that the DPRK is a nuclear power and that Korea is going to be reunified under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN.
Final victory belong to Juche Korea !

Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- The second test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-14 was successfully carried out at night of July 28, Juche 106 (2017) under the supervision of Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army.

Kim Jong Un guided the test-fire on the spot.

He, who is always bringing about ceaseless miracles and victories, baffling imagination of the world people with his rare military wisdom, great guts and stratagem, set forth the militant task for the rocket research field to conduct another test-fire simulating the maximum range of Hwasong-14 at an early date to prove once again the reliability of the whole rocket-system.

The scientists and technicians in the field of defence industry, loyalists of the Party sharing the intention, breath and step with the leader with the absolute trust in it, rounded off earlier than scheduled the preparations for the second test-fire of Hwasong-14 through decisive campaign with confidence and will to fully demonstrate the powerful might of the strategic nuclear force of the WPK.

During the preparation period, respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un received report about the preparations and gave detailed instructions every day. At night of Friday he visited the rocket-launching site to guide the test-fire on the spot.

The test-launch was aimed to finally confirm the overall technological specifications of the weapon system of Hwasong-14 capable of carrying large-sized heavy nuclear warhead, including its maximum range.

By order of the Supreme Leader, the inter-continental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14 loaded with the tremendous might of heroic Korea roared into space, leaving a column of flames behind.

The rocket that blasted off from the northwestern part of the DPRK reached an altitude of 3, 724.9km and flew 998km for 47 minutes and 12 seconds before landing in the target waters in the open sea.

The test-fire was carried out at the maximum angle launch system mocking the maximum range, and had no adverse effect on the security of the neighboring countries.

The test also reconfirmed the specific features of the rocket system such as the rocket's separation from its launching pad, stage-separation, structural system, etc. which were confirmed at the first test-fire, and confirmed the performing features of motors whose number has increased to guarantee the maximum range in the active-flight stage as well as the accuracy and reliability of the improved guidance and stability system.

The attitude control features of heavy warhead in the middle flight stage after the separation of warhead were reconfirmed, and the accurate guidance and attitude control of warhead was ensured at the atmospheric reentry at the angle launch system harsher than the actual maximum range flying conditions. The structural stability of warhead was maintained and the warhead explosion control device showed normal operation even at the thousands of degrees of Centigrade.

Expressing great satisfaction over the results of the test-fire of ICBM which proved to be a perfect and big success without an inch of error, Kim Jong Un highly praised the scientists, technicians and officials in the field of rocket research and gave them special thanks in the name of the Party Central Committee.

The test-fire reconfirmed the reliability of ICBM system, demonstrated the capability of making surprise launch of ICBM in any region and place any time, and clearly proved that the whole U.S. mainland is in the firing range of the DPRK missiles, he said with pride.

The maximum range simulation test-fire of ICBM conducted by the DPRK today is meant to send a grave warning to the U.S. making senseless remarks, being lost to reason, he said, adding this would make the policy-makers of the U.S. properly understand that the U.S., an aggression-minded state, would not go scot-free if it dares provoke the DPRK.

The U.S. trumpeting about war and extreme sanctions and threat against the DPRK only emboldens the latter and offers a better excuse for its access to nukes, he said, stressing: To the Korean people who experienced disastrous disturbances of war on this land by the beast-like U.S. imperialists, the powerful war deterrence for defending the state is an inevitable strategic option and it is a precious strategic asset that can not be bartered for anything.

If the Yankees brandish the nuclear stick on this land again despite our repeated warnings, we will clearly teach them manners with the nuclear strategic force which we had shown them one by one, he emphasized.

Kim Jong Un warmly congratulated the scientists and technicians in the field of rocket research who demonstrated once again the independent prestige and dignity of Juche nuclear power, the world-level rocket power by succeeding in the second test-launch of ICBM Hwasong-14. He, taking them in his arms, had a photo session with them which will go down in history.

The DPRK, advancing along the new line of the great Workers' Party of Korea on simultaneously building up the economy and defence, will develop much more the most powerful strategic weapons, Juche weapons which will display the invincible might of Juche Korea and its inexhaustible potentiality of development to the world until the U.S. and its vassal forces trying to undermine the DPRK's dignity and its right to existence are eliminated, and will achieve the final victory in the showdown with the imperialists and the U.S. without fail.

Pyongyang, July 28 (KCNA) -- Respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un
visited the Fatherland Liberation War Martyrs Cemetery on Thursday, the
64th anniversary of the Korean people's victory in the Fatherland
Liberation War, and paid homage to the fallen fighters of the People's
Army.
Accompanying him were Hwang Pyong So, Ri Myong Su, Pak Yong Sik and
other commanding officers of the Korean People's Army and those of all
the services and corps-level units.

He, together with the participants, paid silent tribute to the memory of
the fallen fighters of the People's Army and went round the cemetery.
He expressed belief that all the servicepersons, party members, working
people and rising generations would keep the noble spirit of defending
the country and mass heroism displayed by the heroic soldiers in the
1950s as the most precious ideological and mental treasure in the drive
for prosperity of the country and the victory of the revolutionary cause

KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION 27th of July 2017The UK Korean Friendship Association is shocked to learn the Open University of the UK, which is famous for being open to all, actually refuses to allow admissions from students from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea . It has recently been revealed that students from the DPRK along with students from Cuba and a number of countries are precluded from applying to take academic courses at the Open University! This makes a mockery of the whole ethos of the Open University which is meant to be open to all . The Open University is one of the biggest universities in the UK and was founded in 1969 to give access to higher education . Excluding admissions from students from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea goes against the ethos on which the university was founded . Such a measure is profoundly discriminatory and goes against equality and diversity which the university claims to uphold . When the UK established diplomatic relations with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea some 17 years ago , the UK side told the DPRK that must allow their students to study at British universities . However such a thing is not possible when one of the largest universities in the UK shuts it doors to students of the DPRK . How can the UK claim that it is carrying out educational and cultural exchanges with the DPRK which DPRK students are banned from the Open University ? This this a blatant mockery of UK-DPRK relations as well as rank hypocrisy. The DPRK itself has over 240 universities and institutes of higher learning . It is keen to promote academic exchange with other countries but the ban imposed by the Open University prevents academic exchange between Britain and the DPRK . Universities in the DPRK such as KIM IL SUNG university accept and in fact welcome students from the UK , so why is the UK not reciprocating? It is indeed shameful that the Open University has chosen to join the witch-hunt against People's Korea and is apparently implementing sanctions that have no relevance to academic studies . What of the Open University 's much proclaimed and hallowed 'academic freedom' ? The UK Korean Friendship Association totally condemns this discriminatory and reactionary measure of the Open University which is blocking academic and cultural exchange between the DPRK and UK.UK KFA

STATEMENT OF THE STAFFORDSHIRE BRANCH OF THE UK KFA"ON THE TRAVEL BAN FOR US CITIZENS TO THE DPRK"

The Staffordshire branch of the Korean Friendship Association totally
condemns any sort of travel ban for US citizens to the Democratic
Peoples Republic of Korea, as a retrograde and counter-productive move.
At a time, when tourism and cultural exchange is increasing between
countries, the Trump Administration is putting a barrier on people to
people contacts.
Using the case of Otto
Warmbier, as a pretext, the US is attempting to isolate the DPRK on the
international arena. The DPRK is infact not alone, but admire and
respected by millions of people throughout the world for its dignified
defence of socialism and independence. It is the US Imperialists who are
behaviouring like tyrants, denying their citizens the opportunity to
see the DPRK for themselves. Are the ruling circles in Washington DC
that afraid of the people of the United States knowing the reality of
Juche Korea first hand by means of travel?

The banning of travel to the DPRK will impact most of all, the Korean
community who reside in the United States. This punitive measure will
thwart the opportunity for family reunions and travel for the overseas
Koreans to their ancestral homeland, the DPRK. By enforcing this travel
ban, the Trump Administration is acting in a racist and cruel manner
against the aspirations of the Koreans who want the chance to visit the
DPRK.
The Staffordshire KFA Branch calls upon people of goodwill
to oppose the travel ban on US citizens going to the DPRK. We urge
progressive people to conduct vigorous campaign to halt Trump's
reactionary travel ban!!

"We address our congratulations on the occasion of the Korean People's
Army victory against the American and south Korean aggressors in the
Fatherland Liberation War! The Korean people have faced the strongest
capitalist empire on the planet, but under the wise leadership of the
Workers Party and of Comrade Kim Il Sung, they won, because they
believed in victory and knew what was fighting for: for Freedom, social
justice and Independence! People who fight for their freedom are
invincible! Long live People's Wars, long live Democratic People's
Republic of Korea, down with warmongers, out with American troops from
south Korea!"

Greetings to all Juche Idea and Songun idea followers on the occasion July 27th Day of Victory in the Fatherland Liberation War against the US imperialists !

Glory to the DPRK on the 64th anniversary of the victory in the Fatherland Liberation War against the US imperialists ! Led by the great leader generalissimo KIM IL SUNG the Korean people won a great victory against the US Imperialists.The defeat of US imperialism was dues to the Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader generalissimo KIM IL SUNG July 27th is Korea's 2nd liberation day !Forward to the final victory of Juche and Songun , to the liberation of south Korea and the reunification of Korea under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN !

Thousand and hundreds of documents exposing all sorts of crimes committed by the Park Geun-hye group was revealed at Cheongwadae, stirring up a great furor in south Korea.

Some days ago, documents worked out in the period of the Park regime at Cheongwadae were massively disclosed from 2014 to 2016.They were highly likely to contain evidence proving influence-peddling in "state affairs".

The documents recorded with Park’s instructions; examination of supporting control of business operation by the vice-chairman of Samsung Electronics, the application of conservative bodies to its implementation of policy, a framing of blacklist to suppress the progressive literary men and forced promotion of “state-censored history textbooks”.

It also contained the Cheongwadae’s order such as humiliating agreement on sexual slavery for the Japanese army, obstruction of activities of ad hoc committee for investigating the sunken ferry Sewol and intervention in the local election.

The disclosure of Cheongwadae documents in the Park’s office served irrefutable evidence proving influence-peddling in "state affairs" committed by Park and her cohorts.

The south Korean authorities presented the documents to the prosecution authorities.

The south Korean people of all social standings stressed that the Park regime was the one that should not be born and her regime was a do-nothing group in all aspects. Availing itself of this opportunity, Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil scandal should be strictly investigated and punish those responsible for the scandal, they noted.

The historical truth can never be written off and a gimlet in the sack is bound to protrude.

64 years have passed since the heroic Korean people won a great victory in the Fatherland Liberation War against the US imperialists.

The Korean War was a fight between “rifle” and “A-bomb”. The world people watched with bated breath the DPRK standing in confrontation with the US, who boasted of their numerical and technological superiority, while pinning hope on the victory of the righteous DPRK.

The DPRK defeated the US for the first time to bring about the beginning of decline for the US.

First of all, the essential factor of victory is the Juche-oriented military idea, strategies and tactics and prominent leadership of PresidentKim Il Sung.

Based on the priceless experience of anti-Japanese revolutionary armed struggle, the Juche-oriented strategies and tactics were developed into ones suitable to modern warfare and the actual conditions of Korea. By them, the US desperate offensives were crushed and ignominious defeats were inflicted upon its notorious “victorious” and “elite” corps.

The DPRK’s victory in the war was attributable to the firm spirit of safeguarding the country and mass heroism of the Korean people and army united around the President.

His warm affection and trust and energetic leadership arouse the army and people to the sacred war to safeguard the country and let them display unexampled heroism. The people had lived a genuine happy life as master of country for the first time after Korea’s liberation thanks to his benevolence. They regarded him as their fatherland and believed that they would surely win the war under his leadership. Thus, the soldiers of the Korean People’s Army defended their fatherland at the cost of their lives.

In the Korean War, the Korean people and army proved that, led by great leader, those strong in idea and faith always win victories andit is one of the inevitabilities of history.

Noting that July 27 is the second national liberation day, the south Korean people highly admire PresidentKim Il Sung,who accomplished the immortal exploits of victory with his prominent leadership.

Now, the President’s feats of victory is succeeded and adhered perfectly by supreme leaderKim Jong Un.

The DPRK’ political and military power, built up by the preceding leaders, has been developed on the highest level under the wise leadership of the supreme leader. In the 1950s, the DPRK defeated the US with rifle and now it has even H-bombs and ICBMs. If the US imperialists commit a rash act, nobody could survive and they could run away to nowhere.

The victory of the DPRK, led by the brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu, will be ever-lasting.
